  5. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake tray/ muffin tray. Now fill muffin batter in each cupcake liner. Fill only ¾ th portion of each cupcake liner. Now place it in the preheated oven and bake it for 25 minutes. Every oven is different so if it is not baked in 25 minutes bake for some more time.
  6. When the cupcake looks done and puffed up insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean the cupcake is done, if it has some batter then bake for some more time. Now when the cupcake looks done place it on a cooling rack for it to cool down.
